"It's so bizarre."

Rebecca White's eyes, wide and filled with innocence, suddenly brimmed with tears that silently rolled down her cheeks. "How could James possibly be my child? I've never had a child... Never."

Suddenly, Rebecca clutched her head in agony.

"My head is killing me!"

She winced, shaking her head in pain as her complexion turned even paler. "Why does it hurt so much?"

Her phone buzzed in her pocket.

Clutching the phone tightly, Rebecca hesitated for a moment before swiping to answer, "Hello?"

"Rebecca."

Francis's voice was as calm and soothing as ever, "I got held up today. Are you back at the dorm? I'm downstairs. Mind if I come up to see you?" "...Sure," Rebecca managed a faint smile and agreed.

"I'll be right up."

"Okay, I'll wait."

After hanging up, Rebecca opened the door and entered the dorm. Soon after, Francis arrived.
